Ah! So the plugin runs predictably, but this doesn't mean that the
user's setup is ignored otherwise, it would just be ignored while the
plugin is running insofar as the commands within the plugin go. Which
makes nothing but sense. So if I have 'set favoritecolor=green;' and
'alias echo="dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda"', if the plugin contains a few
'echo's' but also contains 'set favoritecolor=blue', after the plugin
runs, I still have my disk, but favoritecolor is now blue. Yes?
